do they choose death?

This question is framed in the context of historical examples of people who contributed towards high impact "revolutions": Christians subverting mainstream religion during the Roman empire, India breaking free of English colonial rule, American revolutionaries during the time of King George III, etc.

DEPENDS WHAT THEY WANT TO DIE FOR

I read a neat piece that was talking about the phrase "he who would seek to save his life will lose it" and it's opposite, that he who loses his life will save it.
They gave the example of a surrounded soldier, who, if he's not willing to risk his life in fighting for escape, will certainly be killed by the enemy. He loves life enough to *risk* death... he doesn't *choose* death.

They usually find something worth living for.

The most dangerous enemy is the one with nothig to lose, because they are the most free.

it really depends on the situation...if he thinks he has no other choice but to do so to protect that 'something' then ...maybe

They would have something -- to die for -- rather than have nothing to die for, that's all.
